Lockhart is the county seat of Caldwell County which is centrally located just 15 miles from Austin, 5 miles from Interstate 35 and San Marcos with Interstate 10 running through Luling at the southern tip of the county. The new SH-130 will be bisecting the county from the north to the southwest.

Thomas was a graduate of Lockhart High School in 1981. After graduation, Thomas worked for Hoskins Electric in Austin, Texas, as an electrician’s helper and continued this trade to become a licensed electrician for the rest of his working years.

Thomas was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church where he was baptized, made his communion and was confirmed.

Thomas was a friendly, funny, hardworking and helping guy. Friends knew him as “Tommy” and “Tom-Tom.” To family, he was “Jr.” He was very proud to be a father to his daughter, Evelyn Grace Espinoza, and it showed in his actions. Tommy had a strong passion for working and would always lend a helping hand anyway he could. He will truly be missed by all.

The family wants to thank Angel Deleon’s funeral home, our friends, family and extended family with St. Mary’s Church and especially Father Alberto for all the support, guidance and efforts made to be there for us in the loss of our beloved brother, son and father Thomas Espinoza, Jr.

Our time together was cut too short, as we had just started to get to know one another. I knew deep down you truly loved me, and was proud to call me your daughter. I’m to young to understand it all, but I know Mom, Grandma, Aunt Norma, and all my family will help understand it all as I get older!! Mom tells me everyday that you loved me. Thank you for bringing me into this world, and all you did to make me smile. -Love your daughter, Evelyn Grace
